What to expect:

✔️curmudgeon baker

✔️new woman in town

✔️fake baby-daddy?

✔️small town

✔️big family

Having a baby in a bakery gives new meaning to taking the bun out of the oven.

I’d been in Curmudgeon Bakery for one of those lemon baby-Bundt cakes I’d been craving since I found out I was pregnant.

The draw had nothing to do with the baker himself. Tall, tatted, and edgy, looking more like a biker than a man who makes baked goods. I hardly knew him other than taking a tumble in a rainstorm in front of his shop . . . and then tossing myself at him after he rescued me.

We shared a moment but it’s not what you’d think.

Months later, he delivered my baby among his cookies and cakes. Talk about a second chance encounter.

Then he whips up a plan to pretend to be my baby’s father, and everything heats up from there.

My body.

My heart.

My willingness to accept a perfect stranger’s kindness despite him telling me over and over he isn’t who I think he is.

I beg to differ.

He’s that sugary drizzle on a citrus-flavored, guilty pleasure that’s bad for the hips, but together—him, and me, and baby—we’re the perfect blend of ingredients that might do all our hearts some good.

From Wall Street Journal & USA Today bestselling author Natasha Madison comes a stand-alone small-town, second-chance sports romance. 

When two worlds crossover. From the This Is Series and The Southern Series.

Things are supposed to go smoothly on your wedding day. Aren't they?

Sofia Barnes

I’ve always loved to play dress-up.

Creating fake weddings was my childhood pastime.

Now it is my dream come true.

I’ve finally been handed my first client.

But nothing could prepare me for who greeted me when I walked in. 

He was my first kiss, my first everything, including my first and only heartbreak.

Now I have to plan his wedding.

Matthew Petrov

My family is filled with hockey royalty.

From my grandfather to my uncle to my father.

Now it is my turn to work my way up the leaderboard.

I had everything that I’ve ever wanted in my life.

Or so I thought.

Nothing could prepare me for coming face-to-face with Sofia.

I knew her inside and out.

She knew my inner secrets.

Two years ago, I let her go, and now she’s planning my wedding to someone else.

They say time heals old wounds.

They lied.

Maybe she was just mine to take.

Release Blitz - SUBMIT by Jillian D Wray

 

Submit by Jillian D. Wray is now live!

When I first met Willem, he swept me off my feet. I was pursued. Adored.
But over time, I began to give in to all of Will's desires and demands and lost sight of who I was.
Whenever I felt like I could finally break free... he would find a way to reel me back in.

That's how I ended up here, in Aruba. With a fiancé who's never around and a lonely, solitary existence filled with cooking meals and keeping house.

Meeting Casper was a pleasant surprise. With his brilliant green eyes, tanned skin, and brooding demeanor, I find myself irresistibly drawn into his orbit again and again. Without even trying, he makes me feel seen for the first time in years.

Maybe it's the way he corrects my stance on the kite board. Maybe it's the side glances he thinks I don't catch. But the more time I spend with him, the more closed-off he becomes - and the more I want to break through his tough exterior.

When Will and I's relationship takes a turn for the worse, Casper helps me escape my prison.
But I never expected the secrets that would be exposed... or the danger that's about to come for us both.

In over my head, I quickly realize that at least one more time, I will have to submit to someone else's control.

Aleatha Romig

FREE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

A small town, best friend's sister, age-gap, grumpy, sunshine, contemporary standalone 

Confirmed bachelor—that’s what I’ve become.

Life is safe and predictable. After all, Riverbend doesn’t exactly have a roaring social life or an influx of women looking to be the wife of a farmer.

Hold on.

I’m not looking for a wife—or even a girlfriend.

When my best friend tells me that his little sister, Devan, is moving back to Riverbend to teach science, I envision the little girl with pigtails, freckles, and an annoying urge to be wherever her older brother was. Of course, that was twelve years ago when she was ten years old.

Newsflash. Devan is no longer a child.

Imagine my shock when I learn that she is the woman who disappeared after one passionate kiss—one I couldn’t get out of my head.

Once I realize Devan is my mystery woman, I can’t walk away.

The problem is that she’s my best friend’s little sister, ten years younger than me, and definitely off-limits.

What will it mean for my friendship if I pursue my feelings?

Can one kiss change everything? 

Have you been Aleatha’d?

ONE KISS is a stand-alone, age-gap, best friend’s sister, small-town forbidden contemporary romance set in Riverbend, Indiana, and one of Aleatha’s Lighter Ones. Sit back and enjoy the hijinks as Justin’s safe and predictable world is turned upside down.

Cover Reveal - SOMETHING LIKE HATE by Piper Rayne

 

Piper Rayne has revealed the gorgeous cover for Something like Hate!

Releasing: September 26, 2023

Cover Design: Hang Le Designs

I love him.

I loathe him.


It’s like plucking daisy petals in my head, but he’ll never know.


When Miles Cavanaugh, the best safety in the league, was traded to the Chicago Grizzlies football team last year, I could finally breathe. Temptation was miles away.


How naïve to think it would end there because when the opportunity to write for a national magazine based in Chicago lands in my lap months later, I can’t turn it down. Sure, it’s a big city, but the sexual energy feels like a beacon between us the minute my plane lands.


To make matters worse, I end up having to take over the job of reporting exclusively on the Chicago Grizzlies. Which means traveling with the team, interviewing players, and pretty much having an all-access pass to their lives during the season.


Miles and I put up a great front, quickly hating on one another, but we both know it’s a lie. We also know the rules are simple. For me, don’t sleep with the subject of your articles. For him, don’t sleep with the journalist who can make or break your career.


I thought straight-laced Miles Cavanaugh followed all the rules… oh how wrong I was.

Unfortunately, joining a group of kids on a wilderness quest means stepping out of her comfort zone and into uncertainty. But with the target in her sights her focus stays razor-sharp.

The last thing she needs is the dogged journalist who’s been close on her heels catching up and rattling her cage. When he inserts himself into her investigation, she has no choice but to go along.

Thrown together in a mutual pursuit of justice, the negative energy between them sparks up in a new way.

Release Blitz & Review - THE SETUP by Kristen Proby

 

The Setup by Kristen Proby is now live! 

From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes an all-new novel, The Setup, in her Single in Seattle series, featuring Keaton Williams!

I’m a sucker for pretty things. Give me a roaring engine in a souped-up vintage muscle car with cherry red paint and brand-new leather interior, and that’s about as pretty as anything I could ask for. I’m a simple man, who doesn’t need or want the kind of wild celebrity that my father has. I restore one-of-a-kind vehicles and sell them to the highest bidder. Usually, that bidder just also happens to be a celebrity.

But no matter how often my cars steal the spotlight, staying out of it is my number one priority.

Which is why Sydney Sterling is absolutely out of the question.

She’s a country music superstar. She’s in the spotlight. People can’t get enough of her.

It doesn’t matter that our one night together was hotter than a full throttle muscle car, or that she’s the most incredible woman I’ve ever met.

I. Need. To. Stay. Away.

And I was doing a great job of just that until our friends set us up on a blind date, and now here I am, sitting across from the only woman who made me want more. How am I going to handle the fact that the rest of the world wants her almost as much as I do?

And do I even have a choice in the matter?
